The Secretary-General of the Iraqi Umma Party, Mithal al-Alusi, on Thursday warned against passing parliamentary legislation that meets the needs of the Iranian expansionist regime in Iraq.

Al-Alusi told Ashqaf News that "today we are living a campaign of dictations, interference, pressure, extortion, incitement and intimidation with intelligence and militia tools and means." He also reports on the preparations for the appointment of Qassim Soleimani and his militia for a legislative decision to remove US troops, , Which was formulated by the Maliki government and the majority of religious parties, the Iranian fancy and submissive in the Iraqi Council of Representatives, when there was a consensus between the Obama administration and the Iranian regime.

Alusi warned of "attempts to pass legislation that meets the needs of the Iranian regime expansionist in Iraq under the pretext of the removal of foreign forces, which is a fraud and an aggressive measure represents the extent of serious blackmail of the Iranian political process in general and parliamentary work in particular."

"We do not doubt the ability of the militias and their masters to impose such twisted decisions. If this happens, the three presidencies are obliged to protect the country and the political process from this hegemonic terrorist hegemony over the Iraqi legislator and the Iraqi provinces and their executive and legislative powers have the authority and responsibility to protect the land and the citizen. Implement the Iraqi-US agreement to ensure the security and safety of the provinces and citizens. "

Alusi also called on the provinces "to issue a decision not to allow any party to bear arms other than the Iraqi army, security forces and local police, and even to issue a decision to expel all types of suspicious militias."

"One of the conditions of America to accept dialogue and negotiation with Iran is to abandon its support to the militias and to hand over the wanted militia leaders to the judiciary," al-Alusi told Asharq Al-Awsat.

"Not surprisingly, we may see arrests of militia leaders in Iraq in cooperation with Iranian intelligence or even their assassination by Qassim Soleimani," he said.

Al-Alusi said that "US messages reached Qasim Soleimani that your head is wanted or handed over to the militia leaders, he could liquidate them soon, and this is not excluded and very likely."

Now THIS is Getting Good Like REAL Good!!!

Israel bombs the living daylights out of Iran in Iraq protecting Israel from REAL and KNOWN Insanian threats to Israel.

Problem(s) solved!!!

The Insanians are LIKELY far more concerned about ISRAELI threats than The United States Of America threats on a real time tactical basis since Israel is far more attuned to the fight for survival from a very REAL Insanian threat to push Israel into the Mediterranean Sea.

The Insanians are being cornered and are in THEIR death gasps.

Israel will finish THEM off!!!

Buh Bye Insanians!!!

So, Abdul Mahdi said, “We need more time to disarm the 67 Insanian Militias in Iraq.”

TIMEZUP Abdul Mahdi.

Besides, if Israel runs into ANY difficulties, The United States Of America is READY, WILLING, AND ABLE to step in AND fix the “problems”.

My opinion is there are some seeming “time dependencies” while THIS is Good Supporting News!!!

Pompeo in Iraq for unannounced

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday met with Iraqi leaders in a previously unannounced visit as part of his visit to the Middle East.

He discussed the Trump administration's strategy in Syria and efforts to secure the region.

The State Department said Pompeo met with Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abd al-Mahdi, where the two discussed "the recent territorial defeat of ISIS [the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria] in Syria and the continuation of our cooperation with Iraqi Security Forces to ensure ISIS’s lasting defeat throughout the region."

Pompeo also pressed for Iraq to develop energy independence, something Energy Secretary Rick Perry touched on during a December visit.

The elimination of ISIS and the need for Iraqi energy independence were also the subjects of a meeting between Pompeo and Iraqi President Barham Salih, the State Department said. The two men also discussed U.S. efforts to address Iraq's "political, economic, and security challenges."

Pompeo held a separate meeting with Iraq's Council of Representatives, where the State Department said he underscored the U.S. commitment to its security partnership with Iraqi Security Forces.

The Secretary of State's meetings come amid shifting language from the Trump administration on its withdrawal from the conflict in Syria. Trump abruptly announced in December that ISIS had been defeated and U.S. troops were "coming home now."

But, since that announcement, the president has tempered his language and national security adviser John Bolton on Sunday said that U.S. forces would not leave Syria until ISIS is fully defeated and the Trump administration receives assurances that U.S.-backed Kurdish fighters will be protected.

Alsumaria News / Baghdadwarned US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo , during his speech at the forum of Davoson Tuesday that Iran represents a "real threat", stressing that it is still striving to limit the freedom of Iraq and its independence.

"The threat of the Iranian Republic is very real, in Yemen , Syria and Lebanon, Iran is also striving to limit Iraq's freedom and independence, " said Pompeo, according to Sky News Arabia. " In all these places, Iran is still an active actor."

The US Secretary of State also referred to the Yemeni file, saying he hoped "to make progress in the file of the Yemeni crisis."

With the participation of Iraq .. An important meeting of the International Alliance in Washington

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Foreign ministers of the international coalition against Da'sh will meet in the US capital on February 6 to discuss the organization's efforts to crack down on the terrorist.

The 79-member coalition, with the participation of Iraq, will meet for in-depth discussions on the defeats suffered by Dahesh, the result of four years of efforts to eradicate it and its terrorist activities.

The ministers, along with US Secretary of State Pompeo, will discuss the next phase of the campaign against terrorism in Iraq and Syria, which will focus on ensuring that there is no renewed return to stability, through stabilization and security assistance in Iraq and Syria.

The ministers will also discuss the next important steps in the deterioration of the networks of Da'ash and its subsidiaries outside of Iraq and Syria.

The US State Department said in a statement: "The United States is determined to prevent a resurgent return from appearing in Syria and Iraq after the withdrawal of US troops from Syria, and will remain committed to working with the international coalition to continue to destroy the remnants of the call and frustrate his global ambitions.

"With a daunting defeat on the battlefield, the coalition will continue its stabilization efforts to facilitate the safe and voluntary return home to those who have been displaced by violence," the statement said.

Acting US Defense Secretary Patrick Chanahan said the restoration of all the territory he had seized in Syria would take place within two weeks.

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) has announced that more than 10,000 people, mostly women and children, have fled the last controlled enclave in eastern Syria since last Friday, while Syria's democratic forces are besieging the enclave of five to six square kilometers on the Euphrates River.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will begin a tour of Central Europe on Monday, including Hungary, Slovakia and Poland .

The nature of the delegations to be sent by European capitals is unclear. White House adviser Jared Kouchner will discuss the US plan for peace between Israelis and Palestinians, although details are unlikely to be given.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif of the Warsaw Conference said he was doomed to failure before the conference.

"The Americans were very much interested in holding a conference against the Islamic Republic of Iran in Warsaw, Poland, but they have changed their positions and that is why they changed the title and declared that Iran is not the subject of the conference," Zarif said.

"The Americans have also announced that the vice president will participate in the Warsaw conference, so all indications are that their goals and initial movement have not produced the necessary result," he said.

"America is somehow trying to make up for the climate that is developing against it, so it seems that this conference will not be held according to what the Americans want," he said.

"No Iranian officials have been invited to participate in the conference," he said.

Polish Foreign Minister Yatsik Chabotovic opened Thursday the Warsaw Conference, which brings together representatives of more than 60 countries to discuss the Middle East situation, Iran's nuclear program and the reduction of weapons of mass destruction.

The Polish foreign minister expressed concern about Iran's nuclear program.

In turn, US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, called in his speech to an open dialogue on all files .

"Iran poses the most serious threat in the Middle East, and the world can not achieve peace and security in the Middle East without confronting Iran. This is not possible, " he said.

"Iran, Russia and Turkey are preparing to hold a Sochi conference on Syria, and the Court of Justice confirms its right to consider Tehran's case against the US theft of Iranian people's money," Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Jawad Zarif said. "At the same time, Washington is trying to circumvent its disrespect for the laws and isolate them through a representative contract Warsaw ."

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Thursday that the aim of the conference was to achieve peace and cooperation in the Middle East without imposing a point of view on the rest of the parties .

"We are all here for the same reason: we all want to achieve cooperation and peace in the Middle East. We would like all nations to unite to face common problems," Pompeo said from the Polish capital, warning that "no country can dominate the talks . "

In the opening speech of the second round of the conference on the Middle East, Pompeo described the meeting as "historic," expressing his "satisfaction with the participation of countries, both those belonging to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) or the European Union."

He added that 'the participants in the conference represent a broad sector, reflecting the commitment of this conference to fight for the future and peace ,' noting that 'the organization of the old has become'.
